It is a component of psmouse.o, which is a few lines up.

Breaking out the components of psmouse.o into separate configuration
items might be interesting, but it is quite a bit beyond the scope of
this patch.

Is there a chance that this device will be used on generally-available
hardware? If not then having Kconfig sub-option would be nice.

Fixed.

It should not actually matter, as a failure to get a !NULL value causes
us to return false, which will fall over to other psmouse drivers which
will either set it themselves, or not use it at all, however.

It should be noted that alps.c contains the same issue.


I do not consider this is an issue. priv is just a shortcut or alias
for psmouse->private that saves some typing and allows the compiled to
generate better code.
